It's when a writer replaces a character's name with an identifiable trait about them.

I think it is metonymy.

Hmmmm... I don't think it applies for something like this, though I could just not understand it enough to know better. Would it apply if "Ranma" was replaced with "the redhead" or "cursed martial artist?"

I do believe the word you're looking for maybe epithet.

Yes, that looks like it. (I'm so used to its other meaning.) Thanks!
